We
had not made our 300km yesterday so will try and catch it up today.
The sealed roads are sometimes no faster. With the "wave" just the wrong frequency for EC we have to be extra vigilant.
Some
wonderful statues are situated outside even the smallest of towns.
Trams are prevalent in a number of towns
An
amazing church on the outskirts of Irkutsk.
The
stone that hit us from a truck yesterday did indeed chip the windscreen. We
could not see it yesterday but saw the “run” this morning.
Chipped it right at the bottom ,in the middle ,on the rubber. We
found an auto glass place so drove there. Finding it among the one
way streets - the lady was wonderfully helpful. They do not repair but
replace. After some phone calls none would do it tonight, as it has
been raining so she rang a place in Ulan-Ude where we will apply for
the mongol visa.
A
very friendly guy said he’d try to help but was not sure we’d fit
in his shed.
We
left town in rush hour and got out far enough to find a quiet spot
along the power lines in the bush.
